"If things are going well, the decibels may rise"

INTERVIEWS After the game against Bayern Munich, Hein Vanhaezebrouck indicated that he wanted to feel a bit more fire from the supporters at half time. On his press conference this afternoon he explained more about what he meant. "It is not that I blame the crowd for not being behind the team."


"I talked about it, but I do not want to make it more than it is," said the coach. "We were also disappointed at half-time, and we also hoped that we had scored, but if your team leaves the field after such a first half, then I think you can give that extra push in the back to show 'come guys, second half, we stand behind you and go for it'. "

It is certainly not the case that Vanhaezebrouck is dissatisfied about the support that his team receives from the public. "They have supported us well for the rest of the race. During the second half the atmosphere was good and they put themselves behind the team, even when we were behind. It is not that I blame the public for not being behind the team. I have only, like my players, asked them to do something extra. Let us try to take that step in the future. "

Vanhaezebrouck also says that he does not want to compare with other clubs. "The crowd is used to see good football, their bar is high and I do not want to lower it. But, if the football is good, some extra decibels may be added."
